Anon, boy you really hate Mimoh and his mom. Maybe Mimoh isn't cut out for this. Maybe he's just really good at something else. Like Math.

I think Mimoh is a curse in Mithun and Yogeeta's family. Curse fell from Legendary singer Kishore Kumar for getting dissed by Yogeeta.

ROFL!!! this is too funny..
Take a bow, Aspi :)

Though I'm half feeling sorry for Mimoh - "a guy trying hard to believe he's a star in a cool film", I don't have the courage to check out the movie myself - cant bring myself to watch - "graceful water buffalo stranded in the Kalahari".

If anyone misses Mimoh already, Beth has a few additional screen caps of him on Bollywoodfugly here.

ridhima, welcome. I think Planet Radio City is an interesting concept - if beaten one. But to get to where they seem like they want to be, they need to build way too much of what is already available.

These days music services offer their uniqueness up front instead of trying to be one stop shops (see: Songza for e.g.) So better approach: call last.fm, see if Radio City can use their API to build a service and then focus on adding South Asian content to it.

Well with so many star sons makin his debut maybe daddy told sonny boy that u need to be different....pity he took it tooo seriously and went for the one aspect which is surely different..his hair! talk of catchin attention, he surely has got enuff buzz goin for him (ooo i love being sarcastic :P). music of this movie was also non existent type so not a movie for me to vouche for sure. But i came across this music networkin portal called Planet Radio City . It talks only about music...so whether its jazz or gazals or rock or sufi or bollywood, you get all news and lyrics and trivia and even videos at one place. i signed up there n its real fun. Have a look.

2008-06-30T13:12:00.000-05:00

~mm~ no yaar, he didn't look good at all. In fact he looked like someone who would hang out with Mimoh. This definitely isn't the movie for you, sounds like.

2008-06-30T12:35:00.000-05:00

i'm trying not to notice the connection between my stay in vancouver and the worst summer weather they'd had in years :o\

but did he look pretty? that'll do it for me - no acting skills required!

sorry...if it's any consolation, i'd planned to make some for lunch later this week but it ain't happening now. everytime i think spag, i think 'mimoh'. apologies :o(

2008-06-30T12:15:00.000-05:00

hey ~mm~! Excited that you've left Vancouver just as the weather started getting better? :)

In any case, named actor you swoon over is in the movie. He's the "friend who can't act" in the first para of the post.

And thanks to that funny description of Mimoh's hair, I won't be able to eat spaghetti for a while now.

2008-06-30T10:43:00.000-05:00

wasn't zulfi syed in this? at least tell me he looked pretty? that would make it half-okay from my point of view. i'd watch him stand still in front of a wall...quite happily. :oP

that's not hair on mimoh..it's just spaghetti coated in ink and slapped on top of his head. the giveaway is the way in which it's slowly sliding to one side ;o)

All right! Another Mimoh week coming up for me, then.

Beth, the gospel of Mimoh must be spread far and wide. When I get some time I will see if I can grab a particularly good screenshot or two for you.

Bollywood Fugly was going to do something with a clip from this, but I think it fugged itself better than we could ever do. Ack.

2008-06-26T08:43:00.000-05:00

Akki Kumar is also on that list...he was completely on his own when he entered B-wood. The only he had with him was his kick-ass blackbelt and cooking skillz!

Even Ash, I feel like since she was already a model/MS. World...that gave her enough exposure to get into the film industry without going thru as much struggle as say Akshay Kumar, or even Aspiji's favorite...Himanshu!

Dear lovelorn Igor,

Re: your problems with your gf....

To start with, your poem is very touching but also very feminine. Could it be that you are a Russian history and English double major living in a Capitalist country?

2008-06-25T19:58:00.000-05:00

Aspi, might I say that Himanshu brings out the best in you. In fact I christen him - resident guardian angel of driftdom. However Mimoh comes in a cuddly second.

2008-06-25T17:27:00.000-05:00

True. Add Madhuri and Ash to the combo and you have a few ppl who made it on merit.

2008-06-25T16:17:00.000-05:00

yeah, and as much as i dont like Shah Rukh I am facinated that he became such a huge sensation all on his own merit. I mean, he started out small, worked his way up...no initial support/help from anyone. Even John Abraham was a model and these days, it's not as difficult to transition from model to films...but still, props to him as well.

2008-06-25T15:43:00.000-05:00

Agree with the larger point. You do have to know someone to make it big in the industry.

I think Shahrukh and John Abraham are the only two actors who have made it without any pre-bollywood mentors.

2008-06-25T11:16:00.000-05:00

Hmm I think we will have to agree to disagree on the Hrithik point. I think he has definitely proven himself and I think him and Rakesh Roshan have a symbiotic relationship.The dad and chacha havent done him any favors unlike say Uday (gag) Chopra and ilk. If anything, the Roshans benefit from Hrithikmania that maybe makes their flicks blockbusters instead of superhits. Look at Rakesh Roshan prior to Kaho Na Pyar Hai. He made a lot of rubbish and beta's success has certainly added a lot of moolah (and hence, financing for future projects) to the khaandaan. I think the guy could've scaled such heights on his own merits, but maybe that's just me. Good observations though, abt the nepotism. It is one MAJOR reason why Btown keeps churning out crap.

2008-06-25T11:07:00.000-05:00

just like Imran would've been discovered but it wouldn't have been handed to him on a silver platter just like it was to Hritik...that was the point. I mean, most of them dont deserve it but they are here to stay in b-wood becuase of the people they know and associate with. I dont think Hritik is a phenomenal actor...good looks, yes (at times even...not always) but he can act given the right script and a decent director...and there is no way he would be where he is now if it wasn't for the famous daddy and chachu!

2008-06-25T10:55:00.000-05:00

gg, I would omit Hrithik from your list. No way that gorgeous face and bod could be undiscovered for long. He may have had to go through the modeling route to get a break, but hey, if Aftab (yuck) Shivdasani or Sameer (yuck) Dattani can do it, certainly Hrithik could have. Rest are all eejits.

2008-06-25T09:19:00.000-05:00

Igor, your poetry is much better than your prose. But I enjoyed reading your adventures with Mimoh (via your girlfriend).

If you keep coming back and telling us more, I'll review every movie Mimoh ever makes - all two of them.

2008-06-25T08:59:00.000-05:00

while I agree with you about the whole Imran thing where he couldn't've gotten in if he wasn't Aamir Khan's nephew, that's how most if not all of b-wood works. I mean, look at half the jokers out there, I mean, do you really think Esha Deol, bobby deol, saif ali khan, the entire kapoor generation, hritik roshan, sonam kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan...this is a long-ass list...but you get my point...there is no WAY these guys would be where they are if they didnt already have someone to lean on in B-wood.
